Read first. Book later, if you still need to.
Our condition guides summarise NIH, CDC and Mayo Clinic material and keep the citations in view. Where a public authority explains something better than we could, we send you there instead of rewriting it.
Condition guides
Each guide covers what the condition is, how it presents, how it is evaluated, and what treatment currently involves — with sources listed at the foot of the page.
How to prepare for a neurology visit
This applies whether you see us or anyone else. A well-prepared first visit is the single biggest thing you control.
Bring a medication list, not a memory of one
Everything you take, including supplements and anything taken only occasionally, with doses. Photographs of the bottles are fine.
Bring the results you already have
Recent labs, imaging reports, sleep studies, and prior neurology or neuropsychology notes. Reports matter more than images.
Bring someone who sees you daily
For memory concerns especially, a partner or adult child often supplies the history that changes the diagnosis.
Write down the timeline
When symptoms started, what changed, what made them better or worse. Three lines of chronology is worth an hour of guessing.
Write down your two real questions
The visit ends with your questions answered, so decide beforehand which two matter most to you.
Where we send you
Public, non-commercial sources we rely on and cite. Links open on their sites; we have no affiliation with any of them.
When reading is no longer enough
If what you are reading describes you, a neurological evaluation is the next step. Prices and licensed states are published before you book.
